So, any UPDATE on this at all? EVERY blog has shut down all info about this, and there has been no news since November. What have all the hackers FAILED at making OS X useful on this device? I thought they could do anything, like get my electric toothbrush to run Linux. I spit in the eye of all hackers who have lost interest in making OS X work on EEE — if you don’t all suck, someone prove me wrong by doing an update on the project, showing a video of an OS X EEE PC, or giving news of the wireless drivers. Please.

I loved this Eee pc!
Eee PC means “”Easy to learn, Easy to work, Easy to play.”
In my opinion it’s way better then OLPC project since it has more system power.
Have you seen this video review made by The Dallas Morning News?

That’s amazing. I want one to just throw around and not worry about when I travel. Hm!

A lot of people might disagree with me but this is one of the reasons why I love Apple machines so much, because they’ve taken on this whole idea that OS X should run only on the hardware that they specify; this just gives me a better feeling of consistency on the products that I buy. Granted, I know what I’m buying will just work right off the bat, and I don’t have the concern of which company I should be relying on. (e.g. Dell, Gateway, HP, Sony, the list goes on and on.)

Joshua’s answer is spot on. Because these special disk images are created using the latest original image that hackintosh devs can get their hands on, they will always be a little behind with security updates. Oftentimes, when significant changes are released, updated underground images find their way on to bittorrent trackers. I can’t say I’ve ever had personal experience with installing OS X on non-Apple hardware, but all of these new advancements sure make it difficult.

Ruddy, having spent some time browsing forums dedicated to the “hackintosh”, you almost always have to wait for a hacked version of the updates or detailed instructions on how to install them. I’ve read that bad things can happen to those who update their hackintosh through Software Update since Apple’s updates are specifically made for genuine Apple products.

I’ve been reading on several cases where OS X was installed on a PC, but I’ve also wondered what would happen when you update via Apple Software Update. Will this break anything in your machine? Since some updates are hardware oriented.
